Forecast Theater

The ritual of producing confident revenue numbers from a system that cannot support them. Stages mean different things to different reps, commit categories get used three ways, and pipeline reviews become debates about whose figures are real. Leadership asks for confidence and receives performance. The fix is definitional, because inspection cannot repair stages that have stopped meaning anything.
